	Robinson v. Chin & Hensolt (2002) * California
		Respondents argued that the cable car turntables were improvements to real property within the meaning of section 337.1, the alleged defects were patent since 1984, and thus appellants’ 1999 lawsuit was time-barred by the statute.
		Thus, the operator of the car who uses the cable grip device became known as the “gripman”—and eventually, “grip person.” The second operator of a cable car is known as the conductor.
		Three San Francisco cable car "turnarounds" are not personal property, but are improvements to real property, for purposes of the statute of limitations in Code of Civil Procedure section 337.1, thus dismissal of claims for defective design and construction was proper.

	Cable car (railway) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cable cars are distinct from funiculars, where the cars are permanently attached to the cable.
		Cable cars rapidly spread to other cities, although the major attraction for most was the ability to displace horse-drawn (or other animal-drawn) systems rather than the ability to climb hills.
		A cable car is superficially very similar to a funicular but differs from such a system in that its cars are not permanently attached to the cable and can stop independently, whereas a funicular has cars that are permanently attached to the propulsion cable, which is itself stopped and started.
